* It is expected that delivery of the 4.200% Senior Notes due 2032 and 4.950% Senior Notes due 2050 (together, the “Senior Notes”) will be made against payment therefor in New York City on or about May 19, 2020, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Senior Notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Senior Notes on any date prior to the date that is two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Senior Notes initially will settle in five business days (T+5), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
